"I'm going to travel all over the Western Regions and build a team that can defeat Jinpeng Castle, not everyone is afraid of the Dubu King. "An old knife man once said to a teenage killer that the deadline was set at ten years.

Three years later, Tuo Nengya gathered a lot of swordsmen and trained a super-large sword formation, but he knew that it was not enough for him to be an enemy of the Dubu King, so he sent his cronies to travel around the world, secretly seeking more financial support and personnel supplies, so he soon heard about the dragon king's feat of dominating the Great Snow Mountain.

After watching for more than a month, and after confirming that the Great Snow Mountain was not a flash in the pan, he decided to lead his men and horses to join the Dragon King.

He still remembered the killer named Yang Huan.

It took a lot of time for the messengers he sent to be unfamiliar with the path of the Great Snow Mountain, and was blocked by the Shule army, and when he finally entered the Great Snow Mountain, he found that the main swordsman had just been drawn.

The swordsmen gathered more and more, and finally reached more than 1,500 people, Tuo Nengya took them to the Great Snow Mountain first, and after hearing that the Dragon King had led his troops to the east of Shule Country halfway, he immediately changed direction, hurried and hurried, and had to avoid the interception of the Shule ** team, so it was several days late to arrive.

The Shule Kingdom was taken aback by this army that suddenly appeared in the territory, and all parts of the country were like facing a great enemy, and they closed the city and held on, until the swordsmen passed, and they were relieved.

The military advisor Fang Wen fled westward on horseback, and changed his mind after running for a few miles, he had been stinging for almost thirty years, and finally waited for such a small opportunity to give up, I don't know how many more young people can have a second chance, he doesn't want to be Jiang Ziya, he is too old to meet the master, he is also afraid of starvation, the taste of fire is more uncomfortable than death.

The dragon king must live, he thought, even if all the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain are dead, the dragon king must live, so he hurried back to the camp of the Great Snow Mountain, and summoned all the more than 400 swordsmen who stayed behind, and only said "The dragon king is in danger", and the swordsmen rushed out of the camp and rushed to the battlefield.

Tuo Nengya's swordsman team arrived at this time, the two groups did not know each other, and almost fought, Tuo Nengya stopped this cannibalism in time, explaining the intention.

Fang Wen was overjoyed, he couldn't help but look up at the sky, secretly grateful in his heart, and at the same time glad that he didn't become a deserter, he didn't say that the Dragon King and the main force of the Great Snow Mountain were in danger of being encircled, but claimed that the battle ahead was in full swing, and Jinpeng Fort fought and retreated, calling on everyone to hurry up and grab the credit.

If the military advisor had been given a little time to prepare, his lies might have been more credible, and now he was disheveled, his hair was scattered, sweat was flowing on his anxious face, and those swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain, as soon as they heard that these swordsmen were not enemies, they didn't even say hello, and hurriedly ran towards the battlefield.

Tonengya immediately understood how critical the situation was, so he ordered more than 500 men from Arima to follow him to call for help, while the others followed at full speed.

These five hundred swordsmen and more than four hundred swordsmen rushed to the battlefield first, and they saw the two sides fighting each other, and the Great Snow Mountain was in danger.

Although the swordsmen rode horses, they were not good at horse fighting, so they jumped to the ground and quickly formed six or seven small knife formations, which together became an oversized knife formation, shouting "kill" in unison and joining the battle group.

It was these 500 people who saved the Dragon King and the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain, saving them from the annihilation of the entire army.

There were not many people who survived, but it showed that the Great Snow Mountain still had some strength left, and more infantry behind it was also faintly visible, so the Jinpeng Fort side was the first to sound the gong and withdraw the troops.

Gu Shenwei didn't recognize the origin of this reinforcement for a long time, so he grabbed a horse, galloped back and forth on the battlefield, and loudly ordered the swordsmen not to pursue.

The commander of Jinpeng Fort was much more powerful than he imagined, and it was likely that he would fall into the trap again if he pursued rashly, and the investigation afterwards proved that his guess was well-founded, Dugu Xian had reorganized more than a thousand archers, and if Daxue Mountain pursued, it would catch up with another rain of arrows.

By the time the swordsman and swordsman on foot arrived, the battle was almost over, and the swordsman in front of him was retreating backwards against the corpse of his companion.

In this battle, neither side could say that they were the winners, and the losses of each side were extremely heavy.

There were more than 700 casualties in Daxue Mountain, accounting for more than one-third of the total troops, although there were more dead people in Jinpeng Fort, but the soldiers could quickly make up for it, Gu Shenwei knew very well in his heart that he lost very badly in the overall war.

Back at the camp, the first thing the Dragon King and the Great Snow Mountain Swordsmen did was not to mourn the dead, but to express their sincere gratitude to the swordsmen who had reached out in time to help.

The dragon king had two long knives, one was given to the dutiful attendant on the battlefield, and the other was given as a gift by the dragon king to Tuo Nengya, and all the swordsmen also took out the most valuable items except for the sword, piled them up into a small mountain, let the swordsmen take them, and let the best tent out.

Gu Shenwei once scoffed at Tuo Nengya's ideal of forming a swordsman team, but he didn't expect that it was this team that saved himself and the entire Great Snow Mountain, he had always admired Tuo Boss a little, but this time he was sincere, and he didn't have any reservations.

The Dharma Protector Long Knife Essence Bai Shengxue, after slashing and killing so many people on the battlefield, there was not even a single gap, let alone bloodstains, anyone could see that this was a rare treasure knife.

Tuo Nengya knelt down on one leg and took the Dharma Protector with both hands, while expressing his allegiance to the young dragon king, he believed in the ability and wisdom of this killer, especially the hatred hidden in the killer's heart, he had already felt this in the process of getting along three years ago, but at that time he didn't know that the object of this hatred turned out to be the same as himself.

"This is the sixth brother of the Great Snow Mountain. The Dragon King lifted Tuo Neng Ya and raised his voice to the entire camp and said, "Luoshen Peak, Danduo Peak, Big Sword Peak, Little Sword Peak, Huagai Peak, and now there is the Dharma Protector Peak. ”

The call was thunderous, and the Great Snow Mountain accepted this group of swordsmen from then on and treated them as a clansman.

The next step is to bury the dead, the custom of the Great Snow Mountain is to send the body to the depths of the Snow Mountain, bury it in the ice and snow, the appearance remains unchanged for many years, it is too far away from the Snow Mountain, and there is not so much ice and snow, so everything is simple.

On a hillside in the valley, in the former site of the Gu manor, everyone cleared out a vacant lot, spread firewood, placed the corpses on it, and then spread a layer of firewood and a layer of corpses, and so on until they gathered into a tower.

The warlocks who accompanied the army prayed to the heavens for blessings and cursed their enemies, and the dragon king lit firewood to clear everything and reach the clouds.

"The soul returns to the nine heavens, and the soul falls into the nine abysses. The living are miserable, but the dead are safe. ”

He recited these sixteen words over and over again, and more and more people recited them with him, and since then this has also become the farewell message of the Great Snow Mountain.

The first battle was over, and Jinpeng Fort sent people to challenge it, but Daxue Mountain could not hold out.

Gu Shenwei finally understood the difference between war and simple killing, which he had not discovered from the small-scale bandit army of Shule Country in the past few months, and Dugu Xian, who had never seen his true face, gave him a valuable lesson.

That night, he summoned Fang Wenis alone and solemnly apologized, he should have followed the advice of the military advisor as early as possible, hegemony and revenge are two completely different things, the former takes strengthening his own strength as his core interests, and killing the enemy is only a means, and the latter is just the opposite, killing the enemy is the ultimate goal, and strength is the means.

No matter what he thought in his heart, Fang Wen didn't show any pride, "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers. "The Dragon King is still alive, seven hundred swordsmen died, but more swordsmen came, in the eyes of the military advisor, this is a good thing," and this battle was not fought in vain, Daxue Mountain did not lose, showing its strength, but Jinpeng Fort made a big mistake. ”

"The cavalry that arrived later was not improvised, it was a well-trained army, and the Dubu King's move was too hasty, revealing his ambition and strength to the world, but instead providing us with a pretext for peace. ”

Negotiating peace with Jinpeng Castle, once he started to really think about this issue, Gu Shenwei realized how difficult it was to change his position, revenge was the goal of his struggle and survival, and suddenly giving up, even if it was temporary, made it very difficult for him to accept.

"Good. Saying this, Gu Shenwei suddenly felt that all the burden in his heart was gone, he remembered that it seemed that Master Tie Hanfeng had said that hatred is power, but to control hatred, not to be controlled by hatred, he believed that he could control it, "This began to negotiate peace." ”

He first summoned Tuo Nengya, the old swordsman has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he understood the intention of the Dragon King as soon as he heard it, he had no opinion on the peace, only worried about two issues, "If you want to negotiate peace with the Dubu King, I'm afraid it's not easy." and Shule country, I'm afraid it won't be happy either. ”

Fang Wen was immediately impressed by the old swordsman, feeling that he was more in line with his temper than any swordsman, and he was quite excited to meet a confidant, "That's right!" he couldn't help but startle Tuo Nengya, "This is the most important part of the battle for hegemony." ”

Since the military advisor was in a hurry to speak, Gu Shenwei stood aside and listened.

"Dubu King will definitely not negotiate peace with the Great Snow Mountain, Jinpeng Castle has always had the upper hand, in his mind, thousands of swordsmen are not afraid at all, negotiating peace will only fall into his prestige and give the Great Snow Mountain a chance to breathe. Therefore, the goal of peace negotiation is Jinpeng Castle, but the object of peace negotiation is actually the Central Plains. ”

Tuo Nengya frowned, not quite understanding why the Central Plains was involved here.

"The Central Plains has been quietly stationing troops east of Biyu City for all these years, but the speed is very slow, far from the extent of conquering the Western Regions in one fell swoop, so I most hope to maintain the status quo, especially I don't want to see Shangguan Fa really claim the throne and occupy Biyu City. With the Great Snow Mountain in the west to contain Jinpeng Castle, the collusion between Shangguan Fa and Beiting and the claim to be the king will be affected, and on this basis, I am sure to persuade the Central Plains that they will come forward and force the Dubu King to negotiate peace. Moreover, I have heard that there is a new force in Biyu City, which is fighting against the war under the banner of 'stop killing', and the leader is the Four Noble Truths, at least for now, this is also an important help for the peace negotiation. ”

"What about the Shule Kingdom, will you be angry and send troops to attack the Great Snow Mountain?" asked Tuo Nengya.

"Never. Fang Wen shook his head proudly, and said word by word, "King Shule is very inward, if the Great Snow Mountain is defeated, he will definitely take advantage of the fire to loot in order to gain the understanding of Jinpeng Castle, if we get the public support of the Central Plains, he will have to retreat." The strong are always strong, and the Shule Kingdom wants to use us as swordsmen, but we want to cut a piece of meat from it. ”

This was Fang Wenye's strategy, and he had already divided the work with the Dragon King, he went to meet the highest official of the Central Plains in the Western Regions, and the Dragon King infiltrated Biyu City to contact the forces opposing the war, which would be the first time that Gu Shenwei had returned to the City of Killers after three years of defection.

The only problem is how to convince the swordsman of the Great Snow Mountain.
